“Linda was great with our dog! She was very responsive and sent pictures. We could tell he had a blast with her dogs, as he napped the entire evening when we brought him home.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I cannot believe our luck in finding Christianna! Our 8 year old Boston Terrier, Watson, had an amazing time and was in great hands during his 10 day stay. He went on field trips, spent ample time supervised outside, had plenty of human friends to play tug o’ war with, and laps to snuggle at bed time. Christianna sent many photos and videos daily to keep me in the loop of Watson’s adventures. He is epileptic and requires daily medication which was not an issue at all for Christianna. She is definitely our go-to sitter from now on!”
“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my dog while I was away. It gave me real peace of mind knowing they were in such loving and capable hands. Your patience, kindness, and attention truly mean a lot, and I could tell my dog felt comfortable and happy with you. I really appreciate the time, effort, and love you put into caring for them. Thank you again for everything!”
“Kerry and her family took amazing care of my dog Briggs while I was out of town. I got loads of adorable pictures, and he was returned groomed and fluffy with a new bandana. I highly recommend them and will be reaching out again when I travel.”
“Nikki was very responsive and sent picyures throughout my trip. My pup even had accidents. Thats right i said accidents with an s! And she was so sweet about it. My pup came home happy and i felt at easy the entire time. One less thing to worry about. I will rebook and i recommend you check her out if you need a dog sitter!”
“We highly recommend Melanie and Randy. They welcomed Dean Martin and treated him like their own. Our flight home was cancelled and our arrival was almost 24 hours later than planned but Melanie and Randy were flexible and accommodated our request to extend Dean Martin's stay. It made a stressful travel situation less stressful knowing that Dean Martin was well loved and cared for. Thank you!”
“Christine was a wonderful caregiver to our beagle Molly. She sent daily updates with pictures and videos and let us know how Molly was doing since our dog has some separation anxiety when away from us, but Christine took great care to assure Molly would be okay. I would highly recommend Christine and hope that we'll get to leave Molly in her care again in the future.”
“When I picked up Jackson, I was not sure he wanted to leave his vacation with Kathryn and her wonderful family! Sure he was excited to see us, but, then he laid down next to Kathryn as if he was feeling pretty comfortable at her home! She sent photos and write ups daily and this made me feel so much better about leaving him in her care. It was like he knew the family forever! This was the first time we went away without him in 8 years so I was a bit anxious about leaving. I would have no problems leaving him again if I have another opportunity to do so. I highly recommend Kathryn and I know he was very happy being there and well cared for. He enjoyed his daily walks and never missed a meal and perhaps, Me!!!! If there were 10 stars I would click everyone of them!”
“Genil is the sweetest! Thank you so much for taking care of mu puppy with my super last minute request (literally within 2 hrs). You can tell she really cares about the animals she cares for. She took care of my baby and sent pics. He came home good and tired. Lol. Would definitely recommend.”
About: I’ve been around dogs most of my life. I currently have a Blue Great Dane named Diesel. He is great with other dogs, and we will have to do a meet and great to make sure you’re pup will get along with him also. I’m usually available unless the wife has me doing something. I spend every min I can with my dog and will show your dog the same treatment. My yard is unfenced for now, but it is 2 acres that’s at the end of a quiet neighborhood. We have plenty of room to play and go on walks.
“Anika did an excellent job with my baby, October. She communicated with me throughout his stay with texts, photos, videos. October wasn’t quite ready to leave her, which makes me feel the love and care she has for my furbaby. I will definitely be using her in the future.”
“We couldn't have asked for a more kind and loving caregiver for our two dogs. Lindalyn was a wonderful first experience for our dogs to have a sleepover at someone's home. Her own dogs were sweet and accepting and it was reassuring to receive her pictures and updates. We would definitely book a return visit in the future and would highly recommend her to others.”
About: I provide a calm, structured home environment along with attentive home visits. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’m home the majority of the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision and attention. Because of this, your pup won’t be left alone for extended periods. My home is clean, pet-safe, and designed for comfort. I intentionally limit the number of dogs I board at one time to ensure each pet receives attentive, high-quality care. Located in the desirable and safe Pembrooke neighborhood, I also provide regular photo updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away.
“Rose took great care of our dog. We received updates throughout the weekend, and he seemed very happy and relaxed when we came to pick him up. Our pup is good with other dogs, so it was great that he had some good play time with them as well. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Tina was fantastic! She sent me text messages, pictures, and videos of my Boston Terrier, Lee Lee. Tina took Lee Lee to the local dog park for exercise and cuddled with her in the evenings. I don't think my dog missed me at all. I will definitely use Tina in the future.”
“Kimberly took exceptional care of our pups! Highly highly recommend to anyone looking for an attentive care taker for your fur babies while away. I will not hesitate to call Ms. Kimberly again to watch Greta and Bow again.”
About: I’ve grown up taking care of my own dogs both small and large breeds as well as cats. I’ve also taken care of pets for friends and family while they are out of town. I have been working in healthcare since 2019 so I har lots of care giving experience I currently work Monday through Friday and would love do drop in visits before or after work. Also would be available for overnight care on weekends. prioritize maintaining the pet’s home routine, diet, and comfort level, all pets in my care for overnights are offered free roam in a safe environment but am willing to cage pet if owner would prefer to do that as well.
About: I love animals with all my heart. I’ve never met a pet who hasn’t loved me. I agree with the statement that animals are very energy in tune and I’d like to think so am I! I’ve done lots of dog sitting and cat sitting jobs for people close to me and they’re satisfied with how I did, so you 100% will be too. Your pet is in responsible, attentive hands. I have a free schedule and I’m in desperate need of a side hustle. I have too much free time and I think this would be the perfect thing to book my schedule with, especially because of how much I love being outside and animals. I’m very mindful of the safety even of my own animals so your pet is in the best of hands. Although my yard is not fenced, I take my dog out for walks leashed and for the few times she has escaped, I’m not near any major roads for there to be any accidents or for her to be in harm’s way. I am very vigilant and I would never put your animals or my own at risk because pets are apart of the family and I’d never let anything happen to a family member, even yours.

“Melissa is an excellent cat-sitter. She has watched our cats for two different long (over a week) visits, and done a superb job. She is prompt and reliable in feeding them two times daily, plus litter clean-up and loving time. My favorite picture is my Calico cat licking her cheek in affection!”
“My cat Reggie loves James! When I am out of town, Reggie is no longer sad, he is excited to see his human friend! Thank you James. You have removed from my work the anxiety I had about leaving Reggie. You Rock!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Ridge
“Linda was able to accommodate Conchita on such a short notice, and I am so thankful she did! Conchita had such a good time with Linda, her family, and all her pets. I am so glad that her sweet dog matched my baby's energy. So happy with the experience she provided for her. Thank you Linda!”

She sent pics showing her interacting with the puppy and he had a great time. Her mom is funny, too. It took a second for my puppy to warm up to her but they're best friends now. Lol. Highly recommend. We'll definitely be back.”

I currently have a Goldendoodle that I've raised for the past two years while balancing Division I lacrosse and college academics, and I also have two Golden Retrievers at home. Being a dog owner has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and providing plenty of love and attention. As a future nurse, I am detail-oriented, responsible, and committed to providing safe, dependable care. Pet owners can count on me to be trustworthy, attentive to their pet's individual needs, and communicative throughout their time away.

About: Hi doggie parents! I’m a reliable and compassionate dog lover who truly enjoys caring for animals. Growing up around pets, I learned early on how much love, patience, and attention they need. One of my favorite memories is helping take care of my sister’s dog whenever she needed an extra hand. I spent time walking, feeding, and playing with him, and that experience showed me how rewarding it is to help pets feel safe, happy, and loved when their owners are away. I’m usually available through out the week days early morning for doggy day care or dog walks and I’m available for boarding anytime depending on your needs I have a fenced in yard and I spend time with any dog I take care of like their my own I take them for walks and I also play with them and my son do as well since he loves dogs too
About: I have taken care of dogs most of my life, helped with friends and family animals. I have done training with most of my dogs as well. I am a new resident in the area and love animals. I am retired and not working at this time. I am very reliable and will take good care of your pets. I have a large fenced in back yard and 2 small dogs for playmates with your fur babies. I would love to care for them.
About: Decades of loving on my own pets. Has an understanding of training as I’ve owned many dogs with different temperaments. Preschool teacher that understands patience and is nurturing and loves to play! Ideally, I would like pet care to become a full-time job depending on getting clients. I have a deep love for animals and have appreciated and used sitters from Rover myself. My schedule currently is very open and I’m looking for new clients. I have a fenced in yard and take walks on the beach at the bay. I do have fur babies of my own and they are very friendly if your dog needs socialization. If needed I can crate your animals if requested.
About: I’ve been taking care of a wide variety of pets since I was physically able to. I grew up in a household where taking care of animals was part of our everyday lives. My mom has worked in the animal field all her life and I followed in her footsteps until I had my first son 3 years ago and am now a stay at home mom. I started as a receptionist at my local animal hospital, moved on to a technician, and spent 4 years as a kennel supervisor until I moved on to emergency animal care. I understand whole heartedly that animals are more than just pets, they are family and will be treated as such when they are in my care. I am currently a stay at home mom to four children, I am available almost 24/7 to be able to care for your pet, and have a very flexible schedule I have a decent sized yard, it is not fenced in but your pet will never be left unsupervised outside. I am a firm believer that pets are family and will be treated as such. There is no limitations on where your pet will be allowed to go in my home. They want to jump up on the couch for some snuggles? Go right ahead. Feel more comfortable at night in my room? Come right on in. The way your pet is cared for at your home is how they will be treated here.
About: I grew up having at least one furry friend always in our home. With my mom having a dog grooming and boarding business of her own, I have grown to know and love dogs of all kinds and temperaments. I am extremely comfortable and compassionate towards all furry friends and love them as if they were my own! I am currently not working and am taking online classes full time - I am able to house and walk or house sit at any times of the week and have no current pets in the home I am in, which makes for easier transition for your family member to stay in a comfortable environment. I have a fenced area in my home and a crate if you would like. Your pet has free reign if you prefer this instead. I also offer house sitting and daily walking depending on your preference, and have much experience in this area growing up and helping my mom in her dog sitting and grooming business.

About: I've owned dogs and cats since I was 12. I was once a part-time sitter for Sit-A-Pet, when I lived in the DC metro area. I've raised two puppies who were high energy. I tended to them during senior years, and nursed them thru some serious health issues. Currently, I take care of two barn cats. I have a flexible schedule. I am currently working only part-time for myself, so this gives me the opportunity to provide personal care for your pets. I will care for your pets as if they're my own and give them the attention they deserve. I'll take all necessary safety precautions while tending to pets and when entering and exiting a client's home.
About: I've had 5 cats and 1 dog(who is now 8), so between my own pets and pet sitting experiences I'm well-versed in all sorts of life stages and energy levels for cats and dogs. I also know what it's like to want a good sitter for your pets, so I'll make sure you come home to happy pets! I'm currently a senior in high school, so I can spend late afternoons/evenings taking care of your pets! I'm also available on weekends and federal holidays. I have my own car, so I can easily travel to a client's home to provide the best possible service for their pets. I think it's best not to stress pets out with a new environment when they're already without their people, so I'm more than willing to travel to the pets themselves!
About: My family has never been without a dog (or 5). I love taking care of pets and helping out with basic training. Long walks are one of my favorite past-times, along with gossiping with my pets (they give the best advice). I am always taking care of my own dogs at home, making sure I have time between work and school to come back and walk them. My dogs get frequent walks and fed twice a day, but I am always happy to care for your pet using your own niche techniques. I have experience training puppies and taking care of senior dogs.
About: I care for my own dog and two cats every single day, so I understand the routines, patience, and consistency that pets need to feel safe and happy. I also work at a pet store, which gives me hands-on experience with different breeds, personalities, and care needs. I’m constantly learning—whether it’s nutrition, behavior tips, or new ways to keep pets comfortable and enriched. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. I take care of my own dog and two cats daily, so feeding, walking, cleaning, and keeping pets on a consistent routine is something I naturally do. Because of my job at a pet store, I’m around animals throughout the week and always learning new ways to support their health and behavior. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely—feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special routines your pet is used to. I always take time to bond with each pet so they feel comfortable, and I pay attention to their body language to make sure they’re relaxed and happy.
“Micaya deserves more than five stars. She was gentle, patient, and attentive to detail with Charlie. My German Shepard takes time to warm up to, but during our first meet and greet with Micaya, Charlie quietly lay next to her feet while we were talking. Micaya is Amazing she shared pictures and updates. Followed all instructions and was on time for scheduled walks. Micaya, you are loving and caring of our Fur family members.”

About: I have been caring for dogs since the age of 12, gaining hands-on experience through regularly dog sitting for neighbors in my community. Over the years, I have developed strong skills in maintaining consistent routines, including daily walks, feeding schedules, and overall care. In addition, I have successfully trained my own dog, demonstrating patience, responsibility, and an understanding of canine behavior. I am currently finishing my bachelor’s degree and will be starting my master’s program this summer. With a gap between graduation and the start of my program, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your dog I take pride in being a trustworthy and respectful guest in my clients’ homes. I follow all instructions carefully, maintain a clean environment, and ensure your home and pet are well cared for at all times.
“Caitlyn was wonderful with my dad's dog. She was on time, reliable, stayed in good communication with great pics to show how much the dog enjoyed her walk and play time. It was a huge help, since my dad has had health challenges which interfered with good dog walks. Five stars!”
“You can tell Alexis is an animal lover watching her interact with your pets. My dog absolutely ADORES Alexis! She is very punctual, attentive, and extremely kind. I am very picky about who I trust with my pup (she has an autoimmune disorder that can come on out of nowhere) and I feel very comfortable having her look after my dog knowing she’s in good hands.”
“Thank you so much Katie for taking such great care of my 4-legged furry kids! They came home appropriately pooped out. 😊 It didn’t take them long to get attached to you. They’re looking forward to more walks in the future.”
About: I have always been a go to source for the care of my friends pets. From bathing them, to taking them on mile runs with me, I love being around the animals and providing care when their owners are away. I currently work 2 part time jobs at an ice cream shop and at a gym! My schedule is not set and I work whenever the jobs need me throughout the week. My schedule differs weekly but is easy to work around. I will always ask owners specific needs for the dogs I care for! Have a super energetic dog? I don’t mind taking extra time to play with them and go on walks to make sure they get all their energy out. I am a full-time student athlete at St. Mary’s College of Maryland and am looking to earn some money while away at school! There’s nothing I love more than getting to spend time with furry friends. I cannot board pets as I am living at school, but I can ensure your houses will be left as good as I found it.
About: I have over 30 years experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I will treat your furry family members as if they are my own beloved grandchildren. I’m currently working part time, so my availability is flexible. I can care for your pets in thier home environment. I have reliable transportation .

About: I used to have a dog as I grew up and took care of it for many years and have recently helped take care of my landlord's dog as well. I live in a subdivision so I am more than aware of the practice of curbing the dog. I am very special with pets and love taking care of them. I will make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and all the care it needs and not just the bare basics of food water and walks. I also have taken care of a cat too so I am more than willing to take care of cats as well, but I strongly prefer to take care of dogs only. I love dogs of all breeds and sizes.
About: I love getting dogs out for fresh air and exercise while making sure they always feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a slower, more relaxed pace, I’m happy to match their routine and personality. My goal is to provide plenty of attention, activity, and companionship so your pup stays happy while you’re away. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule while I’m focusing on pattern testing. This gives me plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your pets throughout the week. My neighborhood is a fenced-in dog park with plenty of lush grass, perfect for safe off-leash play and zoomies! We're also steps away from a private beach and surrounded by scenic trails, so your pup will get lots of exercise, fresh air, and sniffs. I always prioritize safety, positive interactions, and keeping your furry friend happy and comfortable. Water, rest breaks, and lots of love are always included!
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of care, patience, and attention I give to every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to learn what makes them feel safe and happy. I’m especially comfortable caring for puppies I also grew up taking care of English bulldogs and understand the importance of consistency with potty training, basic commands, and positive reinforcement. I’m also attentive and gentle with senior pets, making sure they receive extra patience, medication support if needed, and a calm environment. I’m reliable, communicative, and always keep pet parents updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. My goal is to make sure your pet feels loved, secure, and well cared for while you’re away My schedule is pretty open. I am always flexible depending on what I have scheduled. I do work but only part time. I make time for the pets I watch. I love to take my dog on walks my animals are house dogs they spend time with me and enjoying life not in a cage though they do have one and love to just lay in there but there environment is safe and welcoming.
“Leah was a wonderful backup dog walker for me. She and my dog, Yen, got along great. It's so cute to see Yen greet and tell her goodbye. Leah was prompt, friendly and professional. I am happy with my choice.”

“We highly recommend Melanie and Randy. They welcomed Dean Martin and treated him like their own. Our flight home was cancelled and our arrival was almost 24 hours later than planned but Melanie and Randy were flexible and accommodated our request to extend Dean Martin's stay. It made a stressful travel situation less stressful knowing that Dean Martin was well loved and cared for. Thank you!”
“When I picked up Jackson, I was not sure he wanted to leave his vacation with Kathryn and her wonderful family! Sure he was excited to see us, but, then he laid down next to Kathryn as if he was feeling pretty comfortable at her home! She sent photos and write ups daily and this made me feel so much better about leaving him in her care. It was like he knew the family forever! This was the first time we went away without him in 8 years so I was a bit anxious about leaving. I would have no problems leaving him again if I have another opportunity to do so. I highly recommend Kathryn and I know he was very happy being there and well cared for. He enjoyed his daily walks and never missed a meal and perhaps, Me!!!! If there were 10 stars I would click everyone of them!”
“Genil is the sweetest! Thank you so much for taking care of mu puppy with my super last minute request (literally within 2 hrs). You can tell she really cares about the animals she cares for. She took care of my baby and sent pics. He came home good and tired. Lol. Would definitely recommend.”
About: I’ve been around dogs most of my life. I currently have a Blue Great Dane named Diesel. He is great with other dogs, and we will have to do a meet and great to make sure you’re pup will get along with him also. I’m usually available unless the wife has me doing something. I spend every min I can with my dog and will show your dog the same treatment. My yard is unfenced for now, but it is 2 acres that’s at the end of a quiet neighborhood. We have plenty of room to play and go on walks.
“We couldn't have asked for a more kind and loving caregiver for our two dogs. Lindalyn was a wonderful first experience for our dogs to have a sleepover at someone's home. Her own dogs were sweet and accepting and it was reassuring to receive her pictures and updates. We would definitely book a return visit in the future and would highly recommend her to others.”
About: I provide a calm, structured home environment along with attentive home visits. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’m home the majority of the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision and attention. Because of this, your pup won’t be left alone for extended periods. My home is clean, pet-safe, and designed for comfort. I intentionally limit the number of dogs I board at one time to ensure each pet receives attentive, high-quality care. Located in the desirable and safe Pembrooke neighborhood, I also provide regular photo updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away.
“Rose took great care of our dog. We received updates throughout the weekend, and he seemed very happy and relaxed when we came to pick him up. Our pup is good with other dogs, so it was great that he had some good play time with them as well. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Tina was fantastic! She sent me text messages, pictures, and videos of my Boston Terrier, Lee Lee. Tina took Lee Lee to the local dog park for exercise and cuddled with her in the evenings. I don't think my dog missed me at all. I will definitely use Tina in the future.”
“Kimberly took exceptional care of our pups! Highly highly recommend to anyone looking for an attentive care taker for your fur babies while away. I will not hesitate to call Ms. Kimberly again to watch Greta and Bow again.”
About: I’ve grown up taking care of my own dogs both small and large breeds as well as cats. I’ve also taken care of pets for friends and family while they are out of town. I have been working in healthcare since 2019 so I har lots of care giving experience I currently work Monday through Friday and would love do drop in visits before or after work. Also would be available for overnight care on weekends. prioritize maintaining the pet’s home routine, diet, and comfort level, all pets in my care for overnights are offered free roam in a safe environment but am willing to cage pet if owner would prefer to do that as well.
About: I love animals with all my heart. I’ve never met a pet who hasn’t loved me. I agree with the statement that animals are very energy in tune and I’d like to think so am I! I’ve done lots of dog sitting and cat sitting jobs for people close to me and they’re satisfied with how I did, so you 100% will be too. Your pet is in responsible, attentive hands. I have a free schedule and I’m in desperate need of a side hustle. I have too much free time and I think this would be the perfect thing to book my schedule with, especially because of how much I love being outside and animals. I’m very mindful of the safety even of my own animals so your pet is in the best of hands. Although my yard is not fenced, I take my dog out for walks leashed and for the few times she has escaped, I’m not near any major roads for there to be any accidents or for her to be in harm’s way. I am very vigilant and I would never put your animals or my own at risk because pets are apart of the family and I’d never let anything happen to a family member, even yours.
“Ruby had a great time! Lots of individual attention and a safely fenced big yard where she could run around and play. Ruby was happy to see me but whined at leaving her new friends when we drove away. I'll definitely be coming back!”
About: I’ve have taken car of dog since I was 15 and love all kind of dogs. I have a two years old golden retriever that is fully house trained and love everyone. I work full time in the Navy and can board on the weekends. Also, available to sit and walk dogs Monday-Friday from 5 pm to 10 pm I have fencing yard and a golden retriever to keep you puppy company. Also, I can FaceTime anytime you need to see your puppy or send pictures.
About: With over 4 years of experience as a professional dog trainer and pet care provider, I bring a calm, confident, and caring energy to every dog I meet. Whether your pup needs overnight boarding, walks, or some extra playtime, I treat every dog like my own—with love, patience, and lots of belly rubs! I specialize in understanding each dog’s unique personality and needs. From high-energy pups to shy seniors, your dog’s comfort and safety are always my priority. I also offer updates with photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Let’s give your pup a fun, safe, and loving stay. I can’t wait to meet your best friend! 🐶❤️ It is my full time job so the dogs get my attention throughout the day and evening if they board over night with me I like to include them in my everyday life as much as possible. When unsupervised I keep the dogs in a ruffland crate for safety of your dog and the other dogs I have at the time. I live right by the river and love to take the dogs there to play in the water and the beach! I also have a gps collar that I put on every dog when I take them outside of my house for safety.
